- parbo 19y agoYes, but can you write a standards-compliant C++ compiler?
- davidw 19y agoEasily, because in bizarro-one-language universe, I also have an infinite supply of monkeys. Hah!
- euccastro 19y agoPut one monkey to work on C++ and assign the rest on Hamlet. Oh, and make the C++ one use a typewriter too.
- Nicolay77 19y agoI think that compilers should be specially easy to write in Lisp over any other language. However in the time that most people were writing compilers no common or popular computer had enough memory to run Lisp reasonably. Even 8MB were a luxury. Now we have 2GB of RAM as the norm.
